Tech Xplore / Ultra-small, high-performance electronics grown directly on 2D semiconductors
In recent years, electronics engineers have been trying to identify semiconducting materials that could substitute for silicon and enable the further advancement of electronic devices. Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, ...
Medical Xpress / Autonomous AI agents developed to detect early signs of cognitive decline
A team of Mass General Brigham researchers has developed one of the first fully autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) systems capable of screening for cognitive impairment using routine clinical documentation.
Phys.org / How cholera virulence is activated: A long-sought structural explanation
Cholera remains a major global public health challenge, with an estimated 1.3 to 4 million cases and tens of thousands of deaths reported worldwide each year. Caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, the disease spreads primarily ...
Medical Xpress / Standard TB and HIV treatments leave lung immune system impaired, study shows
The immune system remains seriously out-of-whack—in an inflammatory state of overactivation and impaired functionality—following the international gold standard for treating people with latent tuberculosis (TB) and HIV, ...
Phys.org / Soil-based method can stop locust swarms from destroying crops
"They're very destructive when there's a lot of them, but one-on-one, what's not to love?" says Arianne Cease. She's talking about locusts.
Medical Xpress / New blood test shows extent of brain injury after stroke—and reveals treatment effects
Strokes are a medical emergency, yet imaging can capture only snapshots of how brain damage develops in the hours and days that follow. For many other organs, blood tests can indicate acute injury, but until now the brain ...
Phys.org / New technology converts naturally derived monomers into degradable polymer capsules
Polymer capsules can store functional substances such as drugs and fragrances, making them widely used in functional cosmetics and daily necessities. However, conventional capsules use non-degradable polymers and are difficult ...
Medical Xpress / Research reveals clues as to why standard antidepressants fail for so many
A study from the University of Sydney's Brain and Mind Center reveals new clues as to why standard antidepressants fail for many Australians, opening the door for more effective, personalized treatments.
Tech Xplore / An earthquake on a chip: New tech could make smartphones smaller, faster
A team of engineers has made major strides in generating the tiniest earthquakes imaginable. The team's device, known as a surface acoustic wave phonon laser, could one day help scientists make more sophisticated versions ...
Phys.org / Australian freshwater fish like to dine out, relying on land-based food sources
New research has found that roughly half of Australia's freshwater fish are fond of snacking on animal and plant material, including fruits, from outside their aquatic habitats.
Phys.org / Monitoring beer fermentation at the single-cell level with a novel Raman method
Breweries typically monitor fermentation by analyzing broth composition. Alcohols, esters, acids and residual sugars are quantified via chromatography-based assays. While reliable, these tests are time-consuming and only ...
Medical Xpress / How a miniature womb on a chip can help women struggling to conceive
A team of scientists from China has successfully created a miniature womb on a chip that mimics the complex environment of the human uterus. The research offers a new way to study the exact moment an embryo attaches to a ...
